Today my perfectly performing PC decided to be rather naughty.
Instead of resuming from a power saving option which it has managed hundreds of times in the past, I mean screensaver power rather than full pause resume, which it also does fine, the entire machine was stuck.
I had to hard power off.
Crucial M4 which is the boot drive threw a wobbler and refused to be recognised in the BIOS.
I followed the suggestion to leave it on 20 minutes, reboot and this worked shaking the drive from its self protection mode, stopping it doing the naughtiness, and have booted into windows fine.
Everything seems OK.
Currently all runs fine access fine, looks fine.
I have all backed up and data on alternative drives external etc, so I am covered in that respect, but following such a shut down, am I likely as risk of anything in the future?
Is there any course of action I should now take?
Is my BIOS a suitable version?

Suggestions and experiences please.
